Released two years earlier than the NES, this system served as the basis for Nintendo’s rise to power — even if it was heavily redesigned when it was brought to North America and the rest of the world.

As a result, games like Metroid required a password “save” system when it came to the US because battery backup cartridges were not yet cost-effective enough. The Zelda games had a battery backup save that imitated the functions of the disk system, but neither game was capable of the expanded sound that the Famicom Disk System allowed, and so had to have its music and sound effects reprogrammed.
